Counterpart for a rare meeting with a number of crises fueling tensions between moscow and the west cant be found to find Common Ground applied to put it. Past the leaders of germany and hungry mark in historic milestone on the road to the end of the iron curtain 30 years ago today the border between hungary and austria was opened allowing thousands of east germans to head west. Plus thousands flee a raging wildfire on spains prime Canary Island some 1000 firefighters are battling for control the blaze but the flames are still advancing on several fronts officials are calling it an environmental tragedy. Time sumi so misconducts good to have you with us we start with a controversial decision here in germany to take and for children born to former fighters of the socalled Islamic State earlier today kurdish authorities handed the children to a german delegation in syria now the children had been living in the whole camp in northeast syria where more than. 70000. 00 women and children are being held it is the 1st time that germany has agreed to accept i asked children from syria other countries including france and belgium have already done so and in june a german court ruled that the country must take in children with german citizenship departure for any for children to travel into the country of their parents who had once joined the socalled Islamic State and died now for the 1st time adopt a tough negotiations with the kurdish that administration the German Government is repatriating children born to i. A. S. Militants. For lish its a Welcome Development that for german children who had been in custody in Northern Syria were able to leave the country today. In addition will advocate for the possibility of other children in the same circumstances to leave syria this essentially concerned small children whose Living Conditions are far from. The kurdish camps are squalid in our whole camp 75000 people live in close quarters among them are many i. A. s followers hygiene and medical care are minimal and deceit is spread easily german children are among those growing up in these conditions and their mothers want to return home as soon as possible yeah i see me says she arrived in syria in 2014 and lived in iraq and die yes control she has been living in a kurdish come with her 2 children for 2 years. So its very difficult for the children my son is 4 years old i send him here to school he has to learn something i want to learn something too its already been 2 years thats time i wont get back i hope well get picked up so that we can get a 2nd chance. One out of many stories us pressure on the German Government grows to bring more of its citizens back from syria and each of you Political Correspondent well you know uncle crossed us with us tell us more about todays decision by william why is this decision coming now. Well its coming after a month as we just heard in the report of growing pressure on germany thats really been dragging its feet the governments have been dragging its feet for months now and what to do with german i asked fighters are their families and their kids and their legal rights and coming back to germany now weve been seeing this court ruling that was also mentioned earlier saying that the kids have to come back they do have a legal right to come back to germany these suits were brought in part by family members grandparents of these of these children who want to see their grandchildren or their relatives returned to germany and reports are saying that theyre actually meeting these children now in Northern Iraq where these children have been brought to under german care and after being checked for that theyre medically able to do it will be brought back to germany and repatriated with their extended family members so what does this mean for the other children with german parents who are still in these camps in syria well thats still very unclear as we heard from in the piece as well as from a press conference on the ground there between german and kurdish officials there does seem to be some kind of plan in the works that will include more of these children more than 100. 00 children are estimated to believe they have some kind of right for returning to germany but theres been no confirmed plan yet the German Government still needs to go through the very laborious process of checking who these people actually are confirming their identities which is of course very hard in a conflict zone in a place where people dont really have identity documents and in a place where the German Government itself doesnt have Consular Embassy representation you know william that is the question isnt it you know these countries dont necessarily want these children or their parents for that matter to return home because they fear they might have been radicalized they might commit acts of violence so how dangerous are these former fighters. Well of course we have to distinguish between the children of very Young Children this case theyre all under the age of 101. 00 is as young as 10 months if not younger and of course their mothers their fathers those who might have actually been involved in i guess fighting its a bit of a problem either way they could stay in syria and iraq and face the possibility of being radicalized there in the years to come or they could be brought back to germany and the fear is that even if their parents were tried and found to be guilty and spent time in in prison in germany there would be of a chance of radicalization there or their kids could become radicalized or spread radicalization so there is a very delicate balance here between european and International Law human rights law and of course Serious National Security concerns about who these people are confirming their identities and making sure that there are no threat to germany or the Wider European Union is a question a question that a lot of European Countries are struggling with william how important is it that these children are taken to their parents countries of origin well many of these children do have extended family members outside of this their parents living in germany and of course psychologists will tell you that these kids need to have a normal life and a chance at a normal life and of course cant be held responsible as minors as such Young Children for the potential crimes of their parents all right our Political Correspondent william no ugly crossed following the story for us thank you very much now to some other stories making headlines around the world Turkeys Defense Ministry says 3 civilians have been killed and 12 wounded in an attack on a Turkish Military convoy in northwestern syria a Human Rights Group says the Syrian Regime and allied russian warplanes hit rebel held its lead province blocking the line of military vehicles to prevent the convoy from advancing.

A mother says goodbye to her dead son. Hes one of 4 ukrainian soldiers killed in the east of the country in the 1st week of august. It was the single biggest death toll in the ongoing conflict with pro russian separatists in almost a year their response if ukrainian president brought him as alinsky was immediate he called russian president Vladimir Putin and begged him to use his influence to stop more ukrainians from being killed but he went to step further and called for a new round of International Peace talks. I would also like to talk to you america in the nearest future even today if there is time and to agree on an emergency meeting we should stop telling each other that the normandy format meeting should take place at some time this year how many more people will die this year. Of. Ukraines leader supported by emmanuel france is pushing to revive the talks known as the normandy format as a way of ending the simmering conflict. These came about in 2014 when the leaders of france germany ukraine and russia met on the sidelines of the 70th anniversary of the d. Day landings in normandy france the 4 way discussions helped to seal an agreement between the warring parties in 2015 this reduce the fighting but small scale clashes have continued. The result is that since the start of a still ities an estimated 13000. 00 people had died. Hoping to reign in the violence the Normandy Group might a number of times but the process has been stalled since 2016. Now the french president is hoping to oversee efforts to restart the normandy format and to persuade Vladimir Putin to join the process and resume peace talks. Lets get more on the story from our g. W. Correspondent emily sure when shes standing by in moscow hi amalie good to see you how important is this meeting right now as tensions between the west and moscow is still are still pretty high. While this meeting is certainly very important for the russian side russian observers ahead of this these talks today have been emphasizing the growing importance of him i knew i had my call in as a leader in europe especially ahead of america kind of stepping down soon as she has announced she will do this kind of a shifting shifting towards france on the russian side of things and we saw that today in fact the growing importance of the growing desire of both leaders to kind of normalize relations it seems to me we saw that in the rhetoric of both leaders in your putin kind of sanct call for kind of pushing for russia to regain its Voting Rights in the council of europe which happened in june this year and manually. To be almost welcoming russia back into the european fold at various points as they spoke ahead of their of their talks behind closed doors he talked about the fact that there are existing disagreements with russia including of course over the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula but he also talked about russia as a european country a very important symbol for hat perhaps head of g 7 talks this week ok so some very positive tones coming out of their press conference what about the main topic on the agenda today which was the crisis in the conflict in ukraine was any Real Progress made there. Well well have to wait and see when it comes to Real Progress but what i can tell you after those Opening Statements ahead of talks today was that the tone was very much positive again from both leaders might call again pointed out that ukraine has been the main stumbling block when it comes to russian relations and that in fact it could be the key to kind of improving those relations if there is progress on resolving the conflict in ukraine and even bloody near putin seemed almost optimistic today that after you know a deadlock for many years including under ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko putin talked about the fact that he had held had had a telephone call with ukraines new president. And he said that he was cautiously optimistic after those talks and that he had a few things to discuss coming out of that of those telephone calls or that telephone call with and he wanted to discuss that with my call so weve seen some optimistic tones even from the russian side which is certainly a change. Correspondent and we sure win for us in moscow thank you emily. Now to an historic milestone on the road to german reunification and the end of the cold war in 1909 europe was still divided by the iron curtain between the soviet controlled communist east and the democratic west but 30 years ago today in the hungarian town of shock from hundreds of east germans fleeing communism were unexpectedly allowed to cross the border and to enter into austria months later the berlin wall started to crumble at the leaders of germany and hungary commemorated that historical opening of the border in shopfront today but see viktor orban marking the day together struck some as off the 2 leaders have rarely seen eye to eye when it comes to borders and migration. A solemn ceremony to commemorate a moment to change the course of history german chancellor Angela Merkel and hungary and Prime Minister viktor orban both came to shop around 30 years ago a picnic in this hungary and city at the border with austria led to the tearing down of a cold war barrier in europe. Ill simply make will to get worse the picnic became the scene of the biggest break out of people from east germany since the construction of the wall in 1061. Dumb the paneuropean picnic it was organized at the austriahungary and border during the gathering at least 600 east germans crossed the border into scheme to freedom in the west by november an estimated 70000 had fled via hungary. This event was seen as a key factor in the fall of the berlin wall itself 3 months later the government the 3 but i would like to thank the people of hungary once again from the bottom of my heart on the eve of hungarys national day for the courage they had at the time germany will not forget this. And if i get. As medical and all bond celebrated the anniversary of this Pivotal Moment it was clear that the relationship between the 2 leaders has strained in recent years the saga falafel socrates today. The hungry and police and Border Guards are standing guard at the southern border everyone who reads the intelligence reports knows that the migrant flood is not over the gunshot of the cause and i mean if we got. One we differed possibly still there for today on the issue of peoples right to stay here once theyve arrived in germany has a son in laws on the Geneva Refugee Convention so these people have a right to study convince you in machall and orban hold very different views on how europes borders should be managed today obama is known as one of the biggest critics of merkels decision to open germanys borders to hundreds of thousands of refugees 4 years ago. Youre watching t w news still to come on our show an essential Law Enforcement tool for big brother gone too far new facial recognition cameras triggered controversy on the streets of la. The 1st are raging wildfire of the Staten Island of pride in our area has forced thousands of people to flee some 1000 firefighters are struggling to get the blaze under control but strong winds and low humidity are fanning the flames it is the biggest Fire Fighting operation ever carried out on the Canary Islands authorities are calling the fires an unprecedented environmental tragedy. Its the 3rd wildfire since last week more than a 1000 firefighters and soldiers are on shift work night and day to try and control the place in some areas flames from the fires reach 50 meters into the sky making water drops from aircraft difficult work is now concentrated on keeping the outer limits of the fires contained so they dont reach an area as. Mine you know today and tomorrow are decisive then well know whether the fires are under control that doesnt mean theyll be out yet fires like these can last for days and i want to we have several villages were evacuated as a precaution during the night and early hours of the morning around 9000 people left their homes theyre staying with relatives or in emergency shelters. Now theyre waiting for permission to return home here they go well again im 87 years old and i cant remember a fire like this. Getting its unbelievable that its happened again we simply have to look after the forests and fields better. The wildfires are raging and part of a unesco biosphere reserve. Strong winds are making firefighting operations even more difficult. Now if youve ever been to london chances are you were captured by one of the citys more than 420000 closed circuit t. V. Cameras only the Chinese Capital beijing monitors its residents more but a new type of camera as many worry that a big brother might be doing more than just watching and to use matthew more as been looking into this for us hes with us here in our studio matthew so if you look at the numbers the average londoners captured on camera at least 300 times a day so why is there a controversy over more cameras well people are set not because there are more c. C. T. V. Cameras but because there are more official recognition cameras popping up over the city these are cameras that scan your face they run not stand against the database with millions of other faces in the video and identities they do that in real time and without you knowing about it and expect to see the facial structure is unique and its akin to a d. N. A. Or fingerprint some point to the way spread capture of that detail without informed consent is troubling so in a marriage that the owner of a large portion of London Central london can see here. Had been plastering fish recognition cameras all over the estate and mind bars amid bars in cafes restaurants and offices without telling anyone it provoked a furious backlash and campaign or states an infringement on fundamental rights like freedom of previous a freedom of expression and we asked one of them what the major problem was with the technology lets take a listen life issue or Commission Time as they stand everyones face of the brain subjecting them to an intrusive identification check in the same way that fingerprints d. N. A. Swaps work. Life issue or tissue as a camera heart i mean people might. Be aware that. They wouldnt necessarily agree to it. Ok so those are conduction cerns there why exactly have these cameras been installed well thats not really clear and thats part of the problem the company that owns this area is called arjan l. L. P. They say its to ensure Public Security but they havent said what we are shown as the need for it and we did see the system the uses 50000 off to protect the privacy of the general public and that didnt stop our criticism the mayor of london himself to the pharmacist concerns asking if this was even legal which i guess tells you just how kind of unclear the rules are about fish recognition and by recent well in the last few days the information commissioner has said that shes deeply concerned on has opened an inquiry into. The company and asked them a list of a series of questions about what to do with the dates of the store and they basically didnt answer any of our questions but did say they would cooperate with the inquiry what does that mean for the fit use a facial Recognition Technology has a lot of critics but also has people who say who make people safer. Organizations in the u. K. Using. People can be used to identify no one wanted criminals it can be used to stop subjects of bonding orders from entering football stadiums on the big scale the metropolitan police for hope it will tackle terrorism with the can for terror attacks by identifying suspects in advance but that critics of oppression in china we see that used in the prosecution and detention of these then we could use the readers. Sort its got mixed kind of mixed reviews and i think as long as. There are questions about whats happening with the data and how to secure it isnt whos using it the way these simmering kind of concerns will only prove to the regulations the very interesting story there reporter Matthew Moore bringing us the story thank you very much.
